1gallon mini tank

[Core]

So a couple months ago I built a acrylic 1 gallon tank outa scraps from work.
I also DIY pancake leds on a plexi lid for light & a HOB filter
I tested it and all went well. It sat empty for abit til last weekend.

I have this crazy a.ss hermit crab in my main tank and noticed the m 'effer
was trying to dig my conch outa his shell.

Well guess where the crab went. To the Pico Jail!. I Filled it up/Added a piece of LR
some sand and a trimmin of cactus algea.

LMK what you guys and gals think

looks pretty sweet. I like the blue bottom. WC should be a breeze

Thanks Chris. I added the blue translucent Sign Film on the underside for a different effect.
Evaporation on this thing is crazy. and yes a couple cups for a WC.

My little experiment if you will

So cool. U should add a pipefish or try a seahorse. I'd do it

How much evap does it have. What else do you plan on keeping. I like nick's idea of a seahorse

 

[Core]

Water level drops about .25" per day.
Cool seahorse idea. Never had any experience with them or pipefish. hmmm.
Not sure what else i can keep in it. I wasnt really going to run this thing: until the
hermit raped my conch. I needed to put him somewhere.

Looks great. Cut A lid out for it.The lid will help with the evaporation.

Great Idea

Yep lid will fix ur problem! I've never had a seahorse but I know they're slow eaters so they don't do well with other fish cuz they starve. In a tiny tank with only seahorse And pipefish u will be good. Maybe try a pipefish and see what happens. I think pipefish might eat pods too

Do It!

 

[Calveezzzy]

Hmmmm. Thinking of doing a Pico with my 2.5 aio with a pipefish and a seahorse or 2 now! What kind of seahorse should you put in a Pico?

 

[Core]

Not sure.
Maybe someone will chime in

 

[Core]

anyone have any seahorses or pipefish?
Breeders?

I've kept a couple. Ya I think a seahorse tank would be cool. Low flow it would be nice

I'd do a hippo. Kuda.
